Oh mistress mine, whose heart has felt as mine?
For the time is young, and young is to love,
and so it is best, bear thy love as thine-
what lies 'neath your breast, is what I speek of.
So sweet is thy love, may I be thy first,
to delight in forbidden desire?
So unabiding is love to quench this thirst,
to immerse thy soul into passion's fire.
Doth thou not see what love is all about-
for such sweet a thing, to live in this heart,
tho' boundless in nature, it flows throughout-
engulfing souls at rest? Then let not part-
thy tender love, for thy world is a stage,
and thy heart, a player, trapped in it's rage!

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Very beautifully penned Bill.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
